MY CHEVROLET S10 REGULAR CAB 2DR LEAKS BRAKE FLUID. I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR, MAKING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THE BRAKE FLUID IS GETTING TO THE PARTS IT NEEDS TO BE OPERABLE AND SAFE.
